Chapter 383: Sect’s Prized Treasure
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Tianji Sect was undoubtedly a reputable and righteous sect among the various sects, and each sect possessed its own treasures.
This time, Su Qian had her eyes on Tianji Sect’s sect’s prized treasure.
However, the Sect Master of Tianji Sect was too cunning and had not placed the cherished sect’s prized treasure in the treasury. Therefore, if Su Qian wanted to obtain it, she had to think of another way.
When Yan Chen and Feng Tianjiao heard this, they exchanged puzzled glances, as neither of them could discern the hidden meaning behind Su Qian’s words.
Nevertheless, neither of them minded. After all, Su Qian had always been self-reliant in her actions and they trusted her judgment.
With the matter settled, Yan Chen and Feng Tianjiao didn’t continue to stay here to disturb Su Qian. Instead, they helped tidy up a bit and left.
On the long corridor not far away, Qing Zhu stood in place and watched until Yan Chen and Feng Tianjiao returned to their courtyard. Only then did he withdraw his gaze.
At this moment, Qing Zhu’s attendant quickly walked over and bowed respectfully to him. “Master, I’ve found out. Since this morning, Miss Qu has issued orders to withhold food from Su Qian and her group. They’d been served the leftovers from the past few days, and one of the dishes had even gone bad and smelled foul. It’s all to force Yan Chen from Xuanyun Sect to join her for a meal. When Yan Chen refused to yield, Miss Qu told the kitchen that they shouldn’t prepare lunch for Xuanyun Sect’s members.”
“What nonsense. How could she come up with such a method to mistreat guests?” Qing Zhu frowned with displeased. His tone was filled with a coldness that was filled with disappointment. “Sect Master seems to have lost his senses. Doesn’t he realize that in this martial world, no one has crossed paths with a poison physician and had a good life afterward?”
“Master, do we really need to be so cautious? I don’t see anything intimidating about that poison physician. She’s just a woman. Look, she willingly stayed behind when our Sect Master decided to investigate her.” The attendant raised his hand and scratched his head as he said in confusion.
“It’s precisely because Elder Su chose to stay that I find it strange.” After Qing Zhu said this, he raised his hand and rubbed his temples in frustration. “I hope I’m just overthinking. In short, let’s not talk about anything else. Su Qian’s strength speaks for itself, we shouldn’t underestimate her, and so we shouldn’t neglect her. Get the kitchen to provide proper meals for Xuanyun Sect’s members. From now on, I’ll personally handle their meals. Don’t let Qu Xiaodie interfere anymore.”
Qing Zhu sighed helplessly when he spoke up to this point. “In the end, it’s the Sect Master and First Elder’s insatiable greed. They insist on targeting Elder Su…”
“Master!” The attendant was taken aback by Qing Zhu’s words. He raised his hand to block his lips and said nervously, “Master, you can’t say these words casually. If someone with ulterior motives heard this, wouldn’t it be troublesome?”
When Qing Zhu heard this, he had a look of disapproval. He raised his head with a cold expression and said arrogantly, “Since I dare to say it, I’m not afraid of being discovered. I understand Yun Zong. He is a reckless and impulsive person. In order to avenge Su Yunxian, he’s capable of anything.”
The attendant naturally understood Qing Zhu’s meaning. His heart was like a clear mirror. He lowered his head and awkwardly raised his hand to scratch his temples. “Master is very thoughtful and naturally understands. However, we are members of Tianji Sect, so we can’t side with outsiders….”
